Mumbai: A citizen activist has written to BMC Commissioner highlighting the heavy wastage of drinking water in Sahar P&T Colony located in Vile Parle East due to ongoing repair/construction activities, which have been adversely affecting the local residents.
Unauthorised tapping of main water line blamed for continuous loss of potable water
"At the Sahar P&T colony, in K-East ward near Metro 7 corridor from Dahisar to T2 International Airport, the BMC Hydraulic Engineering team, without proper coordination with P&T colony officials, has reported tapped the main drinking water line in the course of ongoing works related to Metro 7 project. This has resulted in continuous wastage of potable water, which is flowing unabated and being lost rather than used for drinking or essential domestic purposes.
As a result, many houses and flats are inundated with overflow water, causing discomfort to residents and potential damage to private property," the email sent by activist Godfrey Pimenta said.
